• Abstract

  The mechanisms involved in the etiology, expansion and rupture of aneurysms are still poorly understood. One of the ways to understand the pathophysiology of this disease is the comparative analysis of aneurysms in different anatomical territories. This comparison involves clinical, diagnostic imaging, histological and biomechanical aspects. Objective: The objective of the study is to det…

  Analysis of clinical, tomographic, biomechanical and histological aspects of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms and popliteal artery aneurysms, AP.R

• Abstract

  Diseases affecting the segment of the abdominal aorta have high incidence and are associated with environmental and genetic risk factors. Among these conditions the infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm has important prevalence and is responsible for considerable mortality. Despite this, its pathogenesis is not completely defined. Positive association between smoking and aneurysm has been …

  Study of the biomechanical and histological properties of the abdominal aorta of diabetic rats and exposed to cigarette smoke, AP.R

• Abstract

  Abdominal aortic aneurysms are the 10th cause of death in the United States. With the aging of the population and better diagnostics methods there has been a rise in aneurysms diagnosis in the past years. The high mortality associated with aneurysms ruptures and morbidity associated with treatment, makes aneurysms a great challenge to surgeons and a high risk for patients. Experimental mo…
